The damage for the AA-12 is very high (Slightly less than the Winchester .12), capable of one-shotting zombies early on in the game. The AA-12 has a drum magazine holding 20 rounds with an extra magazine upon spawning, for a total of 40 rounds. The weapon has a decent amount of starting ammo, but should be used conservatively. Like the Winchester .12, its most effective range is close quarters. Instead of firing conventional bullets, it fires a cluster of pellets, known as buckshot, which spreads out at longer ranges. The AA-12 can be purchased for $15000 and sold for $3750.
